Bloomberg questions

[viral ridge]

Yeah they decide right after the two technicals

[formal kettle]

Thanks for creating a thread

[viral ridge]

so if you got the HR call after then you're through basically

np

[formal kettle]

But I also heard it’s possible to fail the sr manager round

I was scouring blind and was so confused

Some people were asked sys design and other people weren’t

[viral ridge]

A lot of if's

If you're in the US and you're a new-grad then they won't ask you for a sys design question

for london and other offices, it's rough out there for my homies

[eternal moss]

some guy here got really unlucky and got a sr manager who didn't give a fuck and was like 20min late and during the interview was talking with some contractor in his house

[viral ridge]

Lmao that sounds like a nightmare

Honestly just goes to show that it's all rng

your interviewer, your questions, your offer/rejection

[formal kettle]

I heard some guy’s interviewer was evicted in the middle of it

Is Bloomberg ok?

[viral ridge]

but as a norm, the EM round is typically not a coding round. It'll be talking about implementation of a piece of code, your projects etc

BB isn't the most tech savvy place imo but WLB is fantastic there

from all the info I've gathered anyway

[formal kettle]

Yeah, I can’t believe their hiring bar is all over the place

Or maybe you’re just too goated and good at LC

which is why you thought your technicals were easy

[viral ridge]

definitely the former

I was just lucky for the technicals

[hollow ermine]

praying I also get easier questions 😭

so much less stressful when you already have an idea of how to solve something / have seen the q before

[formal kettle]

Do all the tagged

[hollow ermine]

i did all except a most of the hards in top 50

also some from top 50-100, as well as just general lc

you think that's enough for phone at least? if I move on i think ill try for top 100

[vagrant tiger]

i did most of top 50, gonna finish the rest before my interview next week

also going through leetcode discuss and doing some of the bloomberg questions on there

[rocky ingot]

Bloomberg really busy atm or are they full for new grads 2022? It's taking forever to get a confirmed interview date for eng manager round after hr asked for some timeslots. Got asked for timeslots by HR first thing in the morning on Jan 3.

[formal kettle]

How well do you think you did on the interview

[rocky ingot]

I think I did pretty well on the technical and HR round tbh. Haven't had the engineering manger round yet tho. Gave some timeslots to HR but no response yet

[formal kettle]

It’s probably just your individual recruiter being swamped then! Don’t worry about it

[sullen marlin]

just curios do they call you via your phone? cause Im in another country compared to where I actually applied to

[viral ridge]

they have their own in-house video conferencing tool they use

nexti or something like that

[hollow ermine]

Oh so the “phone” interview you need a webcam for or no?

[rocky ingot]

phone interview, they call you on your phone and you do a hackerrank together

[hollow ermine]

Sounds good, thanks

have mine in 2hrs, nervous but I spent a good amount of time prepping so if it doesnt go well at least I tried my best lol

[vagrant tiger]

Good luck!

I have mine next tuesday

[hollow ermine]

thanks! good luck to you too : ), still got lots of time to prep
